Residential Broadband Hammerhead's Layer 2.5 aggregation and switching solutions for Residential Broadband address Broadband Aggregation and Triple Play, as well as IPTV and Video-on-Demand (VOD).
Residential broadband and triple play services have seen a very healthy consumer demand driven by the increased bandwidth and performance requirements of newer applications such as web-based video downloads and online gaming. This consumer demand has been matched by increased availability, better pricing, and more attractive feature packages from Service Providers. In addition, the promise of emerging IPTV and Video-on-Demand (VOD) services have accelerated the Service Provider need to shift from legacy access technologies to IP-based DSLAMs and deep fiber-based solutions to enable better scale and lower costs. All of these changes have forced Service Providers to consider next-generation broadband aggregation platforms that are optimized for cost, feature, and the QoS to support a new wave of triple play and IPTV/VOD offerings. Hammerhead's innovations for broadband aggregation include its hierarchical QoS capabilities, application awareness, and ability to offer a smooth migration from legacy to next-generation IP solutions on a single platform. |
